I wonder if this will herald an era of more original content and less of all this reusing of stuff all the time.

Apparently it will herald an era of crappy horror movies.

It won’t change anything. Old stories and characters are boring. Studios do it from time to time but like Robinhood movies aren’t great investments and since they don’t own the IP don’t lead to anything else.

Community made content is just for fun, so who cares if people make repetitive fan films, art, games.
